When Will Smith shows up at the gate and says, "Here's my clearance," it's just perfect. Meanwhile, the speech at the end spoken by the president? EPIC!!!!

When they were entering the atmosphere, that wasn’t a weapon that’s just what happens when you hit our atmosphere at speed. It’s why our space shuttle has heat shielding. And the flame is proportional to the size of the item, they were 15 miles wide so that heat was probably a good quarter mile thick so just skimming it but still huge.

In regards to the President going out to fight after his wife's death, there's one thing you have to take into account: He is a father. A loving parent will fight tooth and nail for their child. It's why Russell pulled the sacrifice (because if he didn't, then all of humanity, including his own kids, would be wiped out). Yes, he lost his wife, but in the grander scheme of things, he did it to protect his daughter and humanity in order for there to be a future with the human race there.

You Didn't react to the Greatest speech in film History??

Happy USA Independence Day from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇺🇸

"And what the hell is that smell?!?!??!!?!?!" Improvised line :)

saw it in theaters on 4th july as a kid , still one of my fav blockbusters

It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. It made $817 million dollars ($1.4 billion dollars today) against a $75 million dollar budget. A sequel, INDEPENDENCE DAY RESURGENCE was released in 2016, but it was not well received by critics or fans. It was a moderate success at the box office, $390 million dollars against a $150 million dollar budget.

‘Hell yes! Such a great movie. Happy 4th of July all Americans! Thumbs up all!

"shooting bottle rockets at badass kids"😂😂😂😂

Brent Spiner was amazing in this movie. Loved him as Data, too.

HELLL YEAH! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

I get why you think the President made a mistake, he had a daughter to take care of, and a country to lead. But Earth was running out of "front line warriors", aka pilots. His daughter would still be provided for, the country would promote the next leader, but they couldn't provide or promote anymore pilots, they had to take what they could get, even crop dusters. and as you likely know, "front line warriors" feel responsible, they always need to fulfil their duty, even after retirement. In that moment his duty was to humanity, not his daughter or his country.

Apollo 11 was the craft that landed Neil Armstrong on the moon in 1969. Apollo 13 was destined for the moon but never made it there. I watch both unfold on live tv. Go to the moon?? Hell no!! One of the first things I learned was, If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.😂

I remember taking my friend to see this in theaters. We were in middle school and my friend was the quiet type. I remember when the good old boys in the diner were bullying Russel she suddenly started shouting at the screen, “Leave him alone! What is WRONG with you?! He’s already having a bad day!” It was so surprising and even in a full theater nobody got mad. Just a few chuckles and some muttering. Then when the ship appears right after, she really lost her sh-t. “Oh, is it still FUNNY?! Who’s laughing NOW?!” And at this point her vibe had kind of infected everyone and some people cheered while everyone else laughed. (I realize this is sounding like a “then everyone clapped,” moment, but it’s one of my favorite memories.)

Easily one of the top 5 motivational speeches in a movie

Did you really cut Bill Pullman's speech out?! wtf?

This movie is a classic

you cut out the speech? :(

Pilots are constantly flying through clouds & weather they can’t see in, fairly normal but usually there aren’t giant fireballs to run into in the middle of the sky

Happy Independence Day to you Devin and all my American brothers and sisters.

The president was one of the few trained and experienced fighter pilots left. He was needed in the air to give his daughter a chance to live. He was actually doing things the way commanders used to. Troops used to follow their commanders into battle. It's extremely rare for a modern army to do it that way.

Russell Casse You will never be forgotten ❤ Happy 4 july guys 🇺🇲

One of the best President speeches ever given in the history of cinema.

Seeing this in the big screen on the 4th of July weekend was epic! Everyone in the theater was pumped. It was like being in a sporting event. Chants of 🇺🇸 and I heard a lady say "this what a black man can do" with pride. And the president's speach brought the house down.

Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..." 🦖 Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "Must GO FASTER!" 👽

Your energy is infectious. Love your videos brotha!

Happy 4th all cheers 🍻

It was Apollo 11. “The Eagle has Landed”. Checkout all the cool space stuff we did at “Kennedy Space Center”, Cocoa Beach Fl. And take the day tour out to the launch pads. There’s a whole Saturn 5 rocket suspended from the ceiling. Most of all have fun…..it’s worth the trip. Cheers

No speech! 🤦

Man I remember the first time I saw the trailer for this in the theatre. It was a movie I had always dreamt about especially with updated special effects. American fighter jets vs UFOs. And since there was not much of an internet back then, I recall nervously listening to my radio to get first impressions from movie goers who went to it on opening night lol.

Awesome reaction and watched this so many on VHS, the iconic scene where the aliens first attack terrified me as a kid.

The misfire when he got in the craft caused the jam sealing Russell's fate

Remember the beginning of the movie and how he beat his dad in Chess moves ahead. He figured out the aliens checkmate moves ahead.

It was Apollo 11 that first landed on the moon. Apollo 13 launched (I think) the next year in 1970. Happy 4th!!!

Happy Birthday to The BEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET!!!! Happy 4th of July folks. THANK a veteran for fighting for your freedom. Many gave some many gave all to protect the best flag on earth!!!!!

I still get pumped and teary from this movie! I especially love the dynamic between Jeff Goldblum's character with Will Smith and Judd Hirsch (his "dad"). All 3 are comedians so a lot of their banter was improvised. Brilliant, thanks for this. I hope you and yours had a Happy safe holiday. 🇺🇸🎆

7:21 😂 I drive Flatbed trucks and this is trucking 101 don’t matter if it’s raining, snowing, fog ect if you can’t see “SLOW DOWN” or just don’t drive.

Sandlot is dope too! It was my fav childhood movie! U gotta do that one also

Hey Devin, been a fan for a long time. Hope new channel is going well. Have really enjoyed the content lately and really excited to have your reaction to ID4 on this July 4th. Thanks dude, and thanks for your service!

One of the best experiences at the movie theater when this was initially released. Top notch.

Alien: imma use your satellites for a signal Government: imma use satellites for communication Aliens: you know I'm still here right?

I love this movie and watch it every 4th of July when I’m off. But the most emotional part of the movie where I can’t hold back the tears is when his wife dies. When she says “liar”. Every-time. 😭

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this movie with my dad, another great reaction to an awesome movie!

the thought of a young fit president is insane lol

This is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time! Great reaction Devin!!❤❤🎉🎉🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Yes I was 14 years old.... seeing this in a big screen theater on opening day...nostalgic

I first saw this opening day in downtown Burbank CA! 🎉 When the News castor said “Los Angelenos please do not fire your guns at the spaceship…” everyone cheered so loud you could hear it from outer space! 🔫🫡😂🇺🇸

Happy 4th of July! ❤🤍💙

Loved the reaction Happy independence day even though you kicked our butts out we Brits still love y'all ❤ 🇬🇧🇺🇲

There's a reason I live in the middle of nowhere. Nobody is wasting a big ass weapon, on like 30 people.

Happy 4th Brother!!!

When Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum are flying out of the mother ship, Jeff Goldblum says "Must go faster, Must go faster".. The very same thing he says when the T-Rex is chasing him in the Jeep in Jurassic Park.

Nothing better than watching *Independence Day* and then drunkenly blowing 💩 up on the 4th!! Love the reaction as usual.

Apollo 13 was after the first moon landing. They wanted to land on the moon, but because of so many disasters on board, they changed the plans. Their goal changed to simply getting those astronauts home alive..

Great reaction. ID4 is the perfect summer popcorn blockbuster! Classic.

What gets me about the drunk dude is even after aliens are confirmed people wanna think he's crazy for saying he was abducted.

Happy 4th, big dawg.

I love it how u always add some new to it. Keep it up fam 💪🏻

Great vid! Happy 4th of July from Norway Devin!!

Esta película inspiró a toda mi generación. Creo que para ustedes es tan tan americana. First time I coment to you react, "maa". But saw you since LOTR & other. Cheers, from Monterrey Mex

Nowdays A Classic! Congrats and thank you.

100% agree w u about the president being selfish by going on the mission. He was the only parent left for his daughter. I haven’t heard anyone else say that.

For fun you should checkout a movie called “Yankee Doodle Dandy” starring James Cagney. Yea it’s old but very patriotic. It’s about the life of George M Cohan, a musical director/actor/dancer/song writer and Broadway producer. Lot’s of song you probably know but didn’t know who wrote them.. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his work. Cheers

43:27 Yes by going in from the rear.😉🙃 Fun wordplay joke there.

There is an episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air where Evander Holyfield was on it. It was a Christmas Episode. Holyfield came over after an argument he had with Will about Chrismas Lights. They had to put Will in an Oversized Shirt to look smaller because when he was next to Holyfield they were about the Same Size with Body Type. They were like we can't have Will looking like he matches up with the Champ.

Happy 4th Devon.

No, the “satellite” ships were mentioned in the movie as being 13 miles across. The “mothership” was mentioned as being approximately 500 miles across. The aliens place their satellite ships above major population centers……

One of my favorite movies from my childhood!

The aliens were loud and clear with their response to the light show

1. Hiller is a USMC Captain he knows his holiday off is over. That's why he didn't even have to wait to be called in. Jasmine should know that. 2. In the theater I was in the people in there actually stood up and cheered when the White House and the Capitol Building blew up. 3. In my top 10 reasons out of thousands to NOT live in a Metropolis. Getting the hell out. 4. Major Michell/Adam Baldwin also played Animal Mother in "Full Metal Jacket". 5. "90 billion light years"? The Milky Way is only 100,000 light years wide.🧐(The more you know) 6. Movie magic: A convenient traffic tunnel exit. 7. Hiller FAIL parashoot jump.🥺😱 8. Plot hole: The aliens want our natural recourses but are destroying them along with the people.

4:28 - this constant "sound playing - then silence" is really annoying. Kinda like if you are driving and constantly pressing gas and brake pedal. You can either muffle or modify sound or just turn it off until music stops.

Thank you for watching this movie, subscribed

Happy 4th of July! Great reaction!

2:30 - No. This was from Apollo 11 (which in 2019 had actual footage upscaled and made into a movie, I highly recommend watching it, for the actual historical value if nothing else). Apollo 13 was a few years later. That movie was a Hollywood version, though pretty historically accurate (for the most part). Also, the Apollo 11 moon landing is in fact my earliest memory. I was 2 1/2 years old, and remember watching it on television because everyone in my family kept telling me just how historic it was. While I didn't understand at the time how historic it was, I would later on in life. Also, and I'll say this because it's July 4... I hear that the flag we left there has most likely been bleached white by the sun.... so now everyone will think France went there if they can't read the plaque. (that's a 'France always surrenders' joke, if you didn't get it) Also, Devin, if you want to see a more modern take on the alien invasion.... check out the movie "Battleship". While technically based on the game, it IS a fun watch.

I'm Gen-X. Anything even remotely seems fishy, I'm on my way to the most rural coastline or mountainous region depending on circumstances. The go bag, the vehicle, the gear is all ready lol. Fishing poles...let's hope the fish aren't radioactive.

The perfect 4th of July movie. Hope you are doing well my friend.

Yaasss! Just a great, over-the-top, feel-good movie. I love Will Smith & Jeff Goldblum's chemistry. And Bill Pullman plays a great President; Love his speech. Happy 4th July (love from the UK 🤭)! -x-

Happy 4th ,bro.I'm staying home trying to get to feeling better.but that,imo,is one of the best movies of a all time

I really like Jeff goldblum's character in the movie and the way he portrays him

probably the only U.S. president to actually lead his military into battle

I miss movies like this, has it's action, drama, comedy. Sure it can be cheesy but it's FUN. I don't know if we'll get movies like this again because of how hollywood is nowadays, most of these writers and directors are up their own asses that get hired now. It used to be you'd get a lot of movies like this every year.

best first: "Battle: Los Angeles" (2011) Aaron Eckhart, Bridget Moynahan "Species" (1995) "Alien Nation" (1988 original movie) James Caan "Bright" (2017) Will Smith "War of the Worlds" (2005 version) Tom Cruise "Mars Attacks!" (1996)

I'm not well versed in editing and avoiding copyright etc, but is it possible to alter the sound cutting out so abruptly every few seconds and instead have a more gentle raising and lowering volume? Not complaining I love all your reactions, it's just a bit distracting 😅

I'd travel to the moon. But only on off-season. When there aren't too many people doing stupid stuff. You know how humans act around strange sites and cities. And no kids with me. 240k miles with them yelling they have to go, once we get out into space? Oh, they could go to the bathroom before we take off in our space ship. But, no ....

10:28 I love the moxy on this kid.

"1976" was good, but there's singing - It was a musical remade for film, if you're into that sort of thing

please react to these comedies: 1. Mars Attack (weird aliens) and 2. galaxy quest (real aliens ask a bunch actors for help because of their t.v show) Love your reactions.

The Patriot is a great movie too for independence day.

Sad you cut the President's speech. Probably the best moment of the movie IMO

🎉🇺🇲🎉HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!🎉🇺🇲🎉

Great pick, love this movie!🤩

You intend to watch a Schwarzenegger movie soon, please watch "Running Man". But until then, I wish a happy July 4th.

damn good action movie, makes me proud of the US spirit even tho i'm not from there.

love the long goatee, as a fellow goatee wearer (but in my case it hides my double chin roll lmao)

25:06 it was not on the script, because they didn’t tell Will Smith about the bonneville salt flats is humid.

Usa usa usa 🎉🎉🎉🎉 plz react to the sandlot 🙏

Why didn’t the satellite at the beginning that crashed into the spaceship at 4.29 not hit the protective shield instead? 😂😂

I think this is a very entertaining SiFi/action movie with a great cast.
